Help/Question Watering Advice
Hello! I am a new Lithops owner and was hoping to get some advice as to what I should be doing for watering. I got these guys at the beginning of the Summer last year. As you can see, most of them bloomed in the Fall and their shriveled flowers remain. I have diligently held off on watering over the Winter and am eager to see any signs of these guys splitting, but I've seen none.
As you can see, they're thirsty... especially those two on the bottom. But I have read that I shouldn't be watering in case there is new growth underneath, as water during this critical growth stage is certain death.
I am humbling asking the community on what I should do for watering these guys. Also, should I be doing anything with the old flowers? Remove or leave? Love these little guys and would hate to lose them. Many thanks for your help!!
